Thanks, ita.

Would it be possible for t i tags &co, eventually, not to close themselves when you break a new paragraph; or the quick-edit > to keep working through single carriage returns?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
But wouldn't that interfere with formatting a single word or phrase within a sentence?

What's an example of something you would type with single carriage returns? I don't use any at all.
<i> tags don't close themselves when you
skip a paragraph, do they? Oh, they do. One thing I do if I want to put in a bunch of tags, say <br> in a haiku, is copy the tag to the Windows clipboard and then just paste it in front of every paragraph with Ctrl-V and the mouse. A little easier.

Would it be possible for <i> tags &co, eventually, not to close themselves when you break a new paragraph;
I believe this is a part of the official HTML spec - the t P tag is supposed to clear out any open tags that preceed it. Not all browsers follow this spec. Hence we get situations like posts in small font sizes carrying over to the next post. I don't think we want to be doing things that purposely violate the HTML standards.
or the quick-edit > to keep working through single carriage returns?
Errr.... no. That's a part of the quickedit definition. How else would the quickedit end itself? If you want a line break, use the t br tag.
t edit In Mozilla, the tag does not close itself when a new paragraph starts.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What Jon said. It would be nice if all browsers played like Opera (she says AGAIN) and closed all inline tags at the end of a paragraph, but they don't.
So I will code to close opened tags, but it's going to take a bit of logicking, and hopefully I won't have to do too much of the regexp stuff that John usually does.

I think she means the specific > marker, that separates itself into its own paragraph already. The rest have to end on one carriage return so you can use them inline. But if the single return didn't end the >ing, then it would do nothing at all, like the one I'm using after every word in this sentence.

I'm so confused.

it.

Exactly. That's what the t br tag is for.
